#6Egberto Da Silva Jr

Midfielder

Egberto established himself as a marauding full back down the left flank in 2016, before moving up to midfield where he became a physical presence in the Lions’ pack. Having missed the first three matches of the season, he never relinquished his place after and logged 1,187 minutes.

Egberto has played professionally in his native Brazil for Fluminense, Nova Iguacu and ADC Cabofriense. He joined Boston City FC through tryouts held earlier this year. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to play in the United States. In Brazil at my age it is almost impossible to be noticed because there are so many players at the clubs there. I am excited to play for Palhinha and for the fans in Boston.”
